Candle in Box Elder

My wife really likes the look of Box Elder. After I sold the vase she really liked, I decided to make this candle holder as sort of a replacement. Found a piece of glass I like the shape of, and then turned the piece to complement it. This particular chunk of Box Elder has limited “flame” but does have some wonderful slates and tans. (Definitely not for sale!)

Back to Douglas, If I remember correctly, this one was finished with Myland’s shellac-based nitrocellulose sealer, then renaissance waxed, then used the Beall system (two polishing coumpounds, then buffed-on carnauba)
